Chapter 137: Chapter 114: A Small Banquet

The escort carts journeyed on the road, with the large flag fluttering in the breeze.

In the end, aside from encountering those foolish bandits from Green Forest previously, there were no other troubles.

Especially on the route from Luoxia City to Tianyu City.

This area falls under the Four Cities, Three Rivers, and Two Bays, all within the jurisdiction of the Phoenix Alliance.

In this territory, there were originally no significant thieves and bandits; the few that dared to emerge had already been wiped out by the Phoenix Alliance.

After the previous battle, everyone in the Guard Team greatly admired Su Mo.

Although they had exchanged only two or three moves, they all recognized the level of Su Mo’s martial arts; with that person’s skills, they couldn’t even come close.

It was evident that Su, the Chief of the Escort, who had risen to fame as a youth, truly possessed genuine abilities.

For a time, the morale of the caravan soared.

After traveling for several more days, Su Mo’s silhouette undulated with the horse’s movement, while his fingers quietly gestured.

“Is that the Blade Technique used by that man from before?”

Yang Xiaoyun took a glance and spurred his horse closer: “That man’s martial arts may not be particularly refined, but those three moves look rather decent.”

“More than decent.”

Su Mo smiled: “These three moves seem simple, but upon closer examination, they leave an endless aftertaste. It’s just a pity that he seemed to only know these three moves; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to catch his blade at that time.”

“That is indeed a pity. It’s just uncertain where he learned those three moves from.”

“There are always fortuitous encounters in Jianghu.”

Su Mo shook his head slightly: “Let’s not discuss him any longer. We should be approaching Tianyu City soon.”

“Hmm, shall we rest for the night in Tianyu City tonight?”

“Sure, let’s inform Chief Liu. So far, this journey has been smooth. After leaving Tianyu City and crossing Hui River to the north, we will enter territories we are less familiar with.”

“Chief Liu, as the leader of Wanxin Trading Company’s Guard Team, shouldn’t be too unfamiliar with this route, right?”

“It’s hard to say.”

Su Mo pondered for a moment: “He’s a man of few words. I’ve interacted with him quite a lot these past few days, but the useful information has been limited. When they used to escort goods, they just had to pay attention to potential dangers on the road. As for lodging and lodging arrangements, those were managed by the escort agency.

“Some inns can be stayed in by Heavenly Gate Escort Agency, but we may not necessarily be able to…”

“That’s true.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded slightly, and upon lifting his head, Tianyu City was already in sight.

The two exchanged a glance and smiled, as they both thought of Miss Wei.

But they didn’t know how Miss Wei was doing now in Tianyu City.

However, they soon found out.

Because before they had even reached Tianyu City, they saw more than a dozen riders stopped far away beside the road.

Chief Liu, from a distance, immediately called out, instructing the team to be cautious.

He rode forward, arriving next to Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, and heard Su Mo say:

“Chief Liu, no need to panic; they are not enemies.”

Chief Liu was taken aback. He strained his eyesight but could not see clearly who the people in the distance were.

At this moment, those dozen riders suddenly galloped forward and, in the blink of an eye, arrived up close.

It was only then that Chief Liu could clearly see that the leader was a woman dressed in purple.

She was smiling radiantly, seemingly coming to greet friends.

From afar, she was already calling out, “Su, the Chief of the Escort, that’s not very considerate of you to pass through Tianyu City without saying hello to me. Do you even consider me a friend?”

Su Mo was both amused and helpless: “With all the responsibilities you have, how could I bother you with my trivial matters, and besides, you said it yourself, it’s just a pass-through.”

As they spoke, Wei Ziyi had already approached.

After glancing at Su Mo, she said to Yang Xiaoyun: “Young Master Yang.”

“Alliance Leader Wei.”

Yang Xiaoyun smiled and saluted with his fist: “I am no longer the Young Leader of Iron Blood Escort Agency. I am now the Vice Leader of Ziyang Escort Agency.”

“Vice Leader?”

Wei Ziyi was surprised and then burst into laughter: “Well, congratulations are in order then!”

As her voice fell, she turned to look at Liu Mo, then glanced at the pair of Purple Gold Concave Maces behind him: “This must be Chief Liu, the leader of Wanxin Trading Company’s Guard Team.”

“I have met Alliance Leader Wei.”

Just by listening to the previous conversation, Liu Mo already knew what kind of person Wei Ziyi was.

The only granddaughter of Wei Ruhan, Deputy City Lord of Tianyu City, the Eighth Alliance Leader of the Phoenix Alliance.

The Four Cities, Three Rivers, and Two Bays area could essentially be considered her domain.

In his heart, he was somewhat astonished; how did Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun come to have such a rapport with Wei Ziyi?

“No need for formalities.”

Wei Ziyi laughed: “Although I learned my arts at Lengyue Palace in my early years and rarely showed myself after returning, I have heard of Chief Liu’s Mace Technique. It is said that Chief Liu’s technique has formed its own style, vigorous and dominating, with remarkable power. However rare in public view, thus generally not widely known.”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but pause their gaze on this reticent man.

Chief Liu fell silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly: “It’s merely a small skill, not worthy of mention, and it makes me the subject of laughter from Alliance Leader Wei.”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

Wei Ziyi spoke with a smile: “Let’s not talk here. I know you are busy with your escort mission, and I didn’t wait for you to enter the city; instead, I came here to wait for you. Let’s go, I have prepared a banquet at my mansion to welcome you and wash away the journey’s dust.”

Su Mo glanced at Wei Ziyi: “At your mansion?”
